Campsite La Brouquere

Eating and drinking has very strong roots in the French culture, especially in the Gers (Gascony) in South-West France. The French always have time for quality eating and drinking. Here are some tips and suggestions for you to experience yourself this relaxing feeling and way of life. Click on the links below to learn more about this.

Eating and Drinking around Camping La Brouquere
Baquettes and croissants Franse baguettes, every day fresh.....Both bakeries in Gondrin challenge each other every day to make the best baquettes and most delicious croissants. During the peak season you can place your bread orders even at the campsite. Early next morning the fresh bread will be ready for you to be picked up.
Camping snacks The campsite offers of course a wide choice of hot and cold snacks. Icecream for the children (and yourself of course) but also snacks like french fries, home made pizza and crepes are on the menu...
Table d'Hôte Regularly dinner parties called Table d'Hote are organised on the campsite. Together with your host and hostess you can enjoy a 3-course meal in a friendly atmosphere.
Fruit and vegetables

Every day, camping guests can enjoy a choice of freshly picked fruit and vegetables, organically grown from our own vegetable garden. Different varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, aubergines, melons, strawberries and much more. You can't get them fresher than this. Healthy and delicious.

Regional specialties foie gras, confit, cotes de gascogne, armagnac.....The Gers offers a wide selection of regional specialties of which probably 'foie gras' is the most famous. You can enjoy these regional dishes in Restaurant Le Pardaillan in Gondrin or the stylish restaurant of Chateau Fources.
Traditional regional Gersois breakfast French breakfast at Ferme de Cassou.....Each friday morning Ferme de Cassou (just a few hundred meters from the campsite) serves a special breakfast. Guests (mainly French tourists) can enjoy an extensive breakfast featuring probably all regional dishes as well as the local alcoholic beverages. If you speak just a little bit French than this will be a very memorable breakfast amidst the French in a very French environment. Although called 'breakfast' you won't return until somewehere in the afternoon....
Wine tasting Wine tasting at Domaine Guillaman...Wine tastings are regularly organised at Domaine Guillaman, a winery close to the campsite. Just a short walk through the vineyards will take us to the Domaine of Dominique Ferret who will show you around and tell you about wine making. He will let us taste his delicious white, rose and red wines (Côtes de Gascogne). And of course, if you like, you can buy some bottles for friends and family back home. A great and interesting way to learn more about these regional wines. Domaine Guillaman has received already many awards and medals from the CGA, the Concours Général Agricole in Paris, the most prestigious contest in France.
Wine and Armagnac tasting From your tent or caravan you can enjoy the great view over the Armagnac vineyards of the Gers (Gascony). Clearly, you don't have to go far to get a taste of the Armagnac, this golden liquid from the Gers. A visit to 'Domaine de Bourret' and 'Ferme de Cassou', both just a few hundred meters from the campsite, is highly recommended.
Many historic castles such as Chateau Busca-Maniban include wine and Armagnac tasting in their guided tours (without any obligations).
